A Victorian Labor MP who allegedly kicked and damaged a Canberra hotel door says he will take leave to deal with health issues after apologising for his “appalling behaviour”.
Burwood MP Will Fowles allegedly damaged the door at the Adobe Hotel in Kingston during a dispute about his luggage as he tried to leave the hotel to return to Melbourne.
Mr Fowels says he has recently undertaken a course on drug and alcohol counselling and will get treatment to become a better person.
